one of the young chemists got the Edwin Jones award tonight, which is an award the faculty vote on. JW really deserves it. He's brought in over 1.5 million in grant money alone, he's a good teacher and a good guy. I like him a lot. AND he sprung for Merry Family Winery wine. Whee. I had autumn black (one of my favorites) which I noticed was the exact shade of my nail polish and once i noticed I couldn't stop noticing (granted I HAD drunk a bottle of this stuff by then).

The dinner sort of sucked but it was from our cafeteria so we expected that. Other than that, it was a really nice banquet and I got to talk to some faculty I rarely get to see. He also called on me and a few others to stand and be thanked for all our work with him. Wasn't expecting that.

Came out to find out our sun had set and the black rain clouds had returned. Sigh. I really hope all my friends in the midwest and the south, especially my Alabama friends, are safe.

this story is just too bizarre so i had to share the link
